PLEN heating system: the pros, manufacturers, reviews, prices, installation

New technologies are increasingly began to take root in ordinary people's lives, making it more convenient and comfortable. One such technology - PLEN heating. It stands for the device, such as a film radiant electric heater. That is, the heating device, which works on the basis of radiation of infrared waves. The only difference from all the other models of infrared heaters - is the design itself. It is a two polymer films of polyester, between which the heating strips (resistive).

How does FREH

The principle of operation of PLEN heating system is quite simple:

1. With the supply cable to an electric current supplied to resistive. Recent begin rapidly heated to a temperature of 40 ÷ + 50 ° C.
2. Thermal energy begins to be distributed over the aluminum layer, which is an integral part of the heating device design and occupies the greater surface area.
3. The reflectivity of the foil converts thermal energy into radiation. Thus formed is an infrared flux with a wavelength of 8 ÷ 10 microns.
4. This radiation does not stay on the thin decoration materials, for example, in suspended ceilings. Runs it and begins to heat the objects and supporting structures of the building, which, heated, give off heat the air.

The distribution of the heating temperature depends on the power of Plano. For example, if the temperature is set to + 45 ° C, then heat the floor space it will be to + 22 ° C. Thus on the human head level with the average growth temperature is + 18 ° C. Increasing the capacity of the device can be increased and the temperature conditions inside the room. It should be added that for the type of heating system in the house ceiling height plays no role. Because the air for the infrared radiation - is not an obstacle.

Ask a Question

"PLEN infrared heating manufacturers produce very powerful models, which are used for drying agricultural products. You can purchase and household dryers on the market. "

Pros and cons of PLEN heating

So, consider what qualities have this type of device:

1. Efficiency in electricity consumption. Of course, if we compare it with other electric heaters. Firstly, it should be noted that electricity itself is the most expensive source of energy. But, using the PLEN system it can be argued that the cost of its work are comparable to the costs incurred by owners of the house, using a gas heating system. It is recognized that heated the same house with the same area and ceiling height.
2. FREH film heater may be used as the main type of heating and the auxiliary. In this case, for it does not matter in what areas it will be installed, or what kind of house it will be heated. The main requirement for a building - complete tightness, insulation and the absence of thermal bridges. The main task - is to choose the right amount, or rather, the amount of heater that could heat the premises of a certain size.
3. this type of heating system easily lends itself to automation and programming that will enable good save consumption of electric current. For example, you can set the program when it is necessary to reduce the temperature. It is usually used when the house is not people. Today, more often say that FREH easily you can make in the "smart house" system.

   

4. When using a film-IR instrument not happening drop in humidity due to the fact that these heaters do not burn oxygen.
5. Full compliance with the fire safety requirementsBecause FREH, in fact, can not be heated above + 50 ° C.
6. IR radiation is safe for humans. Therefore, the heating of the film can be installed even in children's rooms.
7. Rapid heating premises. For example, heating of room space + 10 ° C to + 20 ° C the 40 ÷ 50 minutes. The usual way of convective heating it will take several hours.
8. Easy to install and connect. Do not use any sophisticated tools, no specialized equipment. Following strict guidelines, you can own hands to hold the film heater installation without problems.
9. The entire system is also easy to dismantle. It can be moved to another location, which is also easy to carry out the installation.

   

10. Unpretentiousness to the operating conditions.
11. Heater Plan - is a thin film, so it is easy to hide under any finishing materials. And since it is often installed near the ceiling, the installation can be carried out under any ceiling finish. For infrared rays, it will not be obstacles. Of course, thick sheet and panel materials used for finishing the ceilings, for example, plasterboard, reduce the radiation power. In this part will be heated and very ceiling. But such losses are not very noticeable.
12. the location is not defined by strict standards. That is, when they say Ceiling Infrared heating - it does not mean that only FREH mounted on the ceiling. It can be hung on the wall, put on the floor. Anywhere it will work normally.

As for the drawbacks, then, in principle, he is one:

• it is dependent on the electricity system. Therefore it is necessary to consider how the power lines are effective in the area where the house is being built with the planned PLEN heating. If frequent disconnection of electric current, then this system is better used as an auxiliary.

Specifications PLEN heating

All film heaters of this type produced by different manufacturers, are virtually identical. They differ only dimensional parameters: the width and length. For example, the width - is in three sizes: 350, 510 and 650 mm. It should be added that the first two films is the so-called "free sites" that are not involved in the heating processes. They are located on the edges of the device. The latest models of these three areas: on the edges and in the middle. They are mounting.

And do technical characteristics PLEN heating:

Attention! The length of the films varies in the range of 1 ÷ 5 m. That is, choose the desired size in order to install the device in any location, not be easy. This is due to the fact that FREH Heaters can not be cut, as it was possible to do with the warm infrared floors. Therefore, the tip - first measure the length of the mounting portion, and it has a pick-IR film.

It is important to understand that the size FREH devices and consumed power are key indicators that affect the heating power. How do these values, refer to the tables below.

Film Width 350 mm

Film Width 510 mm

Film Width 650 mm

From the above data it is clear how it is possible to accurately select FREH system, taking into account not only dimensional figures, but also in view of power consumption, which affects consumption electricity.

Nuances of the installation process

Immediately it is necessary to mention that the heating system is installed on FREH foil insulation, which does not It will only create heat insulation layer, but also reflect the radiated via the foil in the direction of wave premises. Therefore, the surface on which is mounted a heating film, it is necessary to close, for example, izolona.

Now, with regard to fixing of the heater. Everything will depend on the material to which it is attached.

1. If it's a tree, then the best option - the metal brackets and a stapler. It is possible in this case to use a clove or screws in wood.
2. If it is concrete, then it is necessary to drill the hole, insert them in plastic anchors, and in them through the film to twist the screws.

As for the film stacking principle, the first thing you should decide which side will be positioned to connect to the power supply current. The shorter the distance between the connection points, the less need to use a cable liner. And it saves.

Depending on the model and size of the heater is determined and its coverage area. This ratio varies within the 50 ÷ 100%, but 80% is considered optimal.

Ask a Question

"No standard rules that determine the number of fasteners per 1 m² of the film. Experience shows that the attachment points must not be less than 8. In this connection must be carried out in places, free of resistors and foil, that is, only the transparent areas. "

Required clearance is left between the film heater and a tension or suspension designs. The gap in the range of 10 ÷ 15 cm. All work associated with the connection is strictly carried out according to the wiring diagram supplied in the kit to FREH.

nuances connection

Depending on what voltage devices have been selected, and used their schemes:

1. If the selected film with a voltage of 220 V, they are connected to each other only parallel.
2. If used devices on 110 V connected to 220 V, between them they are connected in pairs. Past each other are connected in parallel.
3. Same thing with heaters FREH voltage 73 V. They are interconnected series of 3 pieces.

That is, in any case, the outlet should have 220: 110 + 110 = 220; 73×3 = 219.

Setting the thermostat

This device controls the temperature of the air inside the room, disable and enable FREH system. There are three nuance correct installation of the thermostat:

1. It cut into the live wire.
2. Place the installation on the wall at a height of 150 cm. An important component - the unit should be installed on the inside of the wall and not on the outside, which is in contact with the street. It is best to carry out the installation away from windows and doors, to falling on the sun's rays.
3. If the total load of the entire system exceeds 9 A, the temperature regulator is connected via a special modular contactor. Last simply reduces the burden.

Attention! Mounting thermostat is best done on a material having low thermal conductivity. For example, on a wooden plank, which is fixed to the wall.

Over, not all the reviews on the floor warm to the film such. Many people are satisfied with the purchase. But we must take into account the electricity consumption in view of the power unit 1 m² surface. This indicator FREH mentioned: nominal - 100 watts, the maximum - 170. For comparison, we give the most famous brands of warm film floor.

Price and where to buy PLEN heating system

After a review of the film heater sorted, go to its price, as the main selection criterion. Consider a few well-known Russian producers the technical specifications and the price of heating FREH 1 m².

Photo	Mark	Characteristics	Price, € / m²
	ZEBRA EVO-300 PRO	Size: 0.6 × 0.5 m Thickness - 1 mm 220 V Power 66 watts	345
	TM 0,5h1,25	Size: 1.25 × 0.5 m Thickness 0.34 mm 220 V Power 169 W	440
	ESB technology	Size: 0.35 × 4.5 m Thickness 4 mm 220 V Power 270 W	1000

Buy PLEN heating at these prices is possible in online stores or dealers factory.

Summarizing all the above, we add that FREH prove its efficiency and economy only in the event that the house itself was built with all modern requirements and rules. Here the important indicators such as insulation. Therefore, all the positive reviews of the infrared heating of the house is tied to the well-insulated building.
